Does Amorino recommend consulting with professionals before entering into a franchise agreement?

According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Amorino recommends that prospective franchisees consult with certain professionals before signing a franchise agreement. Specifically, Amorino advises consulting with a professional architect and the relevant local township or municipality regarding the leased space.

Additionally, Amorino suggests obtaining written quotations from several builders before entering into a franchise agreement. This recommendation is likely due to the significant costs associated with construction, remodeling, and leasehold improvements, which the FDD estimates to range from $140,000 to $400,000. These costs can vary widely based on the location and condition of the premises.

By recommending these consultations, Amorino aims to ensure that franchisees are well-informed about potential construction and compliance costs, as well as any location-specific requirements, before making a final commitment to the franchise. This proactive approach can help franchisees avoid unexpected expenses and make more informed decisions about their investment.
